Anson 6451 (ex RAF W2087), of No. 1 AOS (Air Observation School), RCAF Malton, was on a compass swinging exercise for two navigators. The pilot commenced unauthorized low flying and aerobatics. During the aerobatics, the aircraft stalled at approximately 2000 feet and spun. The pilot recovered from the spin but attempted to use the engines at full power to come out of the resultant dive. Unfortunately, the aircraft flew through a 50 ft elm tree and slammed into the rocky side of a hill. All four crew were killed in the crash.

RCAF Sgt William C. Isted (P)
